    The oval cloth badge with the star flanked by a half-wreath of oak leaves is a Fire Brigades' duty-position sleeve badge identifying an Unterkreisführer.
    See here for another example: Fire police District Leader Badge

    The dark cloth badge with the gold cogwheel design is a career-badge for naval engineering officers [Ingenieuroffiziere].
    See here for another example: MBertram

    I cannot identify the red cloth badge with the "258"; but it is not German.

    (Don't know about the metal tag, but a theory has been brought up about it on Please help identify? which may be an answer.)

    The "258" collar tab MIGHT be French or Belgian? As stated certainly not German.

    Cheers, Ade.

    The "258" is a french collar patch. In the post-worls-war II years diamond shape patches were adopted for use on the left sleeve. This one is for the 258. Infantry Regiment.
